Chapter 22 A Memory's Plea
A flurry of panic flew over the group standing on the moon; they were supposed to be celebrating after Chimera had fallen off but instead there were in shock after what had just happened. Once Chimera had fallen off the moon, she had gathered all her power for a last strike, it had hit Stella and she fell off the moon, after that Brandon had jumped off after her.
The second Brandon had jumped off the edge the group had all run to the edge, they saw Brandon disappear out of sight and they all stared at the darkness.
"Quick, we need something to pull them back up" Musa cried out, "A rope or something".
"No" Layla whispered, "There's nothing we can do, they've gone".
"They're not gone" Flora protested, "They'll survive this, Stella did once before and I now they will survive this time".
Tecna shook her head, tears sparkling in her eyes, "The chances of the both surviving are nearly impossible, Stella's body has been weakened before because of the fall, it has lowered her chances of survival and as for Brandon, he's not a magical being and he has no magical force that will be able to pull him back up".
After hearing Tecna's words the girls all collapsed down in tears, the boys all hurried to the girls and tried to comfort them, they were just as upset but they refused to cry.
There was one girl however that wouldn't cry, she stood at the edge of the moon standing strong, Nova looked down into the darkness with a look a trust on her face.
"I know you'll come back Stella, you can do anything and I know that Chimera will never bring you down" She whispered.
Nova held out her palm and a small light beam shone out of it and into the darkness, she was going to use this to see if she could see Stella or Brandon, she knew that they would come back, she just knew it.
Brandon could feel himself falling at a very fast pace, he could see Stella falling ahead of him if he could catch up to Stella then he could…
'Oh who am I kidding' He thought, he and Stella were going to die and he knew it, then again if he could catch up to Stella then he knew that they would be together until death and at this moment that was his only wish.
He stretched out a hand to try and grab Stella's, she was still unconscious and completely oblivious to everything around her. Brandon didn't know how long he was going to fall for, soon Earth will be creeping up below him and they would hit the bottom. He needed to get a hold of Stella before they hit the ground.
Brandon desperately reached out for Stella, if he could just grab onto her everything would be ok from there, he would die with the girl he loved.
Then it happened, Brandon's hand caught hold of Stella's arm, he pulled her in towards him and held her close. He could see that she still wasn't awake but he didn't care, it would be easier for them if she wasn't awake.
"I know that this is the end" Brandon said to Stella's unconscious body, "We had some good times Stella and I love you so much" He placed a hand on her head and pulled her in closer.
What was there to do now? Nothing but to carry on falling until they hit the ground, Brandon closed his eyes and chose to wait for the blow.
A bright white light then cam into view, Brandon opened his eyes to see what it was, the light was growing stronger and brighter until it consumed the two, Brandon shielded his eyes as the light took over the darkness.
When he opened his eyes again he could see himself standing in a white room, there was nothing or no one but him in the room, then he saw it. Lying in the middle of the room, still asleep, was Stella.
"Stella" He called out running towards her, he propped her head up and brought her body towards his again, "Stell wake up" He said to her shaking her.
"She won't wake up…not yet anyway" Came a voice Brandon looked up; he lay Stella back down and jumped up.
"Who are you?" he asked, he saw a figure coming out from the white light, she had long blonde hair and wore pink orange and turquoise, her sparkling butterfly wings flapped gently behind her. Brandon then realized that it was the girl he had been seeing in his dreams.
"You…" Brandon whispered, "You're that girl from my dreams".
The girl nodded, "What's going on?" Brandon then asked, "We were falling and then we were sucked into some bright light…are we dead?"
The girl shook her head, "No, your bodies are still falling but you're mentally here, the reason why you are here is because it is time for Stella to remember who she was".
"Seriously?" Brandon asked, it did seem a bit disappointing though that they were going to die just as Stella had remembered her old self.
"It was planned all along, once Stella had defeated Chimera and Cassandra she would remember everything, although I didn't plan for her to make Stella fall off with her but still jumping after her was a very noble and brave thing to do" The girl said.
"Ok so how does Stella remember who she was? I mean you said she won't wake up for a while so how do we do it?" Brandon asked.
"Well, it will all be over with a simple question. You simply have to guess who I am and then Stella will wake up remembering who she is" The girl told him.
Brandon was a bit confused, this girl had given him no indication of who she really was, he only had the theory that he and the others had come up with, that she was Stella in her Enchantix form but was she really it or was she like a guardian angel or something, she had been watching over Stella for a while so maybe that could happen, or perhaps a dead relative that cared for Stella a lot. Everything was a possibility that confused Brandon, though he decided to take matters into his own hands.
"Well…" He started, "There's so many suggestions I could make…you could be a relative of Stella's or her guardian angel or something, there is the theory that my friends and I came up with, that you are Stella in her Enchantix form and that you are showing us what she would look like in her Enchantix form…" Brandon paused when he looked deeply at the girl; there was something very significant about her, something very familiar that he had not noticed before.
He walked towards the girl getting very close to her, it then hit him. This girl was a lot like Stella, she wasn't just Stella in her Enchantix form, she was Stella, maybe she was her Enchantix form ready to be shown to the world but needed something to trigger it off.
He reached out and touched her bright face, even though the features of her face were hidden, the second Brandon's hand met her face an image of Stella popped into his mind.
"Could you…" Brandon whispered, "You're are Stella, you're not just showing us what she'll look like, you're not just some girl that I have been seeing in my dreams, you're her memory in the form of her Enchantix because once Stella regains her memory she will be able to change into her Enchantix form because Chimera and Cassandra were defeated thanks to her. She saved her kingdom which was the requirement to get the Enchantix, is that right?"
The girl gave a soft laugh, "Congratulations" She whispered, the light around her face began to shine a bright dazzling white making Brandon shield his eyes, once it had faded Brandon looked back up and gasped, there in front of him was like another Stella, no it was another Stella, her big brown eyes stared back at him with all the warmth that Stella's eyes had possessed, her lips spread into a soft smile.
"You uncovered the secret on your own, yes I am her memory and her Enchantix, every fairy has their Enchantix hidden in their memory, if something happens to that fairy causing her to lose her memory then the form of the Enchantix and the memory will leave her body in other words she loses the will to change into her Enchantix, the reason why I found you to get her memory back was because you are the closest person to Stella making it easier for you to do so and that is why Chimera was so determined to keep you away from her because she knew that if it was anyone to uncover the secret it would be you. That is when I had to intervene, normally if a Fairy has had her Enchantix powers knocked out of her the form is not supposed to help in anyway but still I was given special permission to help you because if not, well you would have given up and left Stella in the hands of Chimera" Enchantix Stella explained.
"So…what will happen now? I mean this is all nice that Stella has gotten her memory back but we're falling and I don't think we will survive" Brandon told her.
"Well that's where you come in, once I return to Stella's body I will become dormant, you have to wake up Stella from her unconscious state, once she wakes up it will trigger myself to awaken the Enchantix power causing Stella to react with the power of the Enchantix" She looked behind her at her wings, "These wings are so powerful that they will pull both of you back up to the moon with incredible force".
"I see" Brandon said, "But how will I wake you up?"
Enchantix Stella bowed her head, "Unfortunately I am not permitted to give you that information, you have to figure that out for yourself and if you don't…well I think you know what will happen".
Brandon thought about this, he had to wake Stella up in time before they reached the ground, Enchantix Stella walked over to him.
"Well? Are you up to the challenge?" She asked, Brandon reluctantly nodded his head.
"Yeah, I'll do it" He said, Enchantix Stella smiled, she walked over to Stella's limp body and placed a hand on her head, "Good luck Brandon" She said looking up at him, "I know you an wake her up".
Enchantix Stella stood back up and closed her eyes, her boy began to shimmer and sparkle until it all disappeared into several little sparkles, they all then lowered themselves into Stella's body, after this had happened Brandon could see the white room disappearing back into darkness and once again he could feel his arm tight around Stella's limp body and once again he was falling.
Brandon knew he had to act fast, he could see tall building slowly coming into view, he managed to grab hold of Stella's arms and he started to shake her.
"Stella…Stell wake up" He called to her, "Please I'm begging you, you have to wake up".
Stella didn't move, she still lay in his arms unconscious, Brandon began to shake her harder, "Please Stella wake up, I can't do this without you, forget all that stuff I said earlier about us dieing, you can change that if you would just wake up".
Still she didn't move, Brandon was near tears, if Stella would just wake up they would all be saved it was all up to her if she would just wake up.
"Stella, you're the only one that can save us, you're not worthless like you thought you were, you are so strong you just need to wake up, think about your friends, your family, me, you have proved to all of us that nothing can stop you from doing what you want to do, on Earth you used to think you were a no one, well you're not to me you are the most important person in the world and during that time when we thought you had disappeared it was the worst time of my life, once I saw you were alive it made me feel so happy and thankful, because that's what you do to me Stella, I love you and I don't want to go another day without seeing your perfect face, our time is not over yet, please wake up, everything relies on you" Brandon cried out, the pressure of the speed that they were falling in was too much for Brandon and he passed out
Something inside Stella awoke, her body began to bring itself out of her sleeping state, she was waking up, then something inside of her burst open, a bright white light burst out of her back and big sparkling butterfly wings flew out of her back, they were still falling at an immense speed but that was all about to stop.
The wings began to beat on their own, it was much more powerful than the speed they were falling in and it managed to pull them up from falling, the wings began to speed up as they began to shoot upwards towards the moon again, the wings were incredibly fast and it was pulling the unconscious couple back up.
On the moon the group was still very upset about the lose of their two friends, Nova was still standing strong by the edge with her light trying to find the two, then she saw it, the sparkle of the wings, the bodies they had been looking for.
"Guys…" Nova whispered, "Something's coming, I think its Stella and Brandon".
"It can't be" Helia told her, "They're gone".
As the two became clearer it was certain to Nova, "NO" She screamed, "IT'S REALLY THEM".
The group all rushed over to see Nova was right, the two shoot high into the air and the group all stared in awe, then all of a sudden the wings stopped beating and the two began to fall again, this time they crashed onto the surface of the moon and skidded to a halt.
The group rushed over to them to check if there were ok, they saw that they were unconscious but still breathing and still lying in each others arms. Then they witnessed the most magical thing of all…
Stella's wings gave one final beat and her outfit and hair changed, it had changed into her pink, orange and blue outfit and her hair grew longer and a lighter blonde, the form they had all been waiting for. Stella's Enchantix form.
Yay, Stella got her Enchantix and saved her and Brandon! Please review!
